Me, along with many other fans, had been hopeful of at least one of Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud would be leaving the club, with a big -
named striker coming into the fold, but the Arsenal manager's recent comments have poured water on the idea, in the case of the latter at least.

The Arsenal transfer rumours are a little thin on the ground at the moment with Arsene Wenger over at the Euros as usual, so I thought I'd have a little peek at what the bookies are forecasting the chances of the Gunners landing any big

I even thought top clubs were in for him.Some three or 2 seasons back many here were debating why he should be our main
striker.As soon as you mention any other
strikers name people would
come out with stats and many things defending him.Even Wenger has defended him blindly in the past.People say Wenger's stubborn yeah.But don't we know that there's a reason why everything happens?Honestly speaking he's the reason why Arsene Wenger has failed to sign a top notch
striker because he still believes in him.The funny thing is we signed Welbeck at that time who to me did nothing before to be the main man here.People keep saying Welbeck is hardworking and that he works his socks off.But the question is was that our reason for signing him.Welbeck being signed to challenge Giroud tells me a lot about Giroud's quality.Even Walcott (no offence to him) who has zero CF qualities was even chosen over him for a string of games and all in all I think he did well but has too many defeciencies for that role.We've compromised as a club and it'll
come back to bite us.

coming here with ucl and all, lewandowski bayern, its all a joke we better get a reus or something of equal measure you cant buy sanchez and place him as a
striker when you need him as a winger if defeats the purpose we either get another winger or a
striker.

coming season Cavani has undeniable class but can't see Wenger going for a
striker this summer considering that we only bought Welbeck not even a year ago, I think we should go for Marco Reus as our now customary (or so they would have us believe) marquee signing of the summer and promote from within to fill some of the other gaps in our squad, except for maybe CDM as we lack rotation in this area, but our very own Le Coq shows what promotion from within can achieve, he is just one of many players to
come through the ranks to command a spot in our starting XI, such as Bellerin those 2 seem like almost the first
names on the team sheet nowadays who would have thought that 1 year ago or even 6 months ago?
